Looks like the weather is finally turning better. We should have 22-28 celcius days for about a week now. Just in time for me as I will have to do away with the greenhouse soon. Looks like the main and most of my secondaries have finally fell—they are now running nice and low to the ground—finally, and after much coaxing. I have an annoying slug eating at a couple of my largest leafs—at least two of them are peppered with small holes—nothing too serious yet I hope, I looked and could not find him. As to the splits I think the majority of the splits has ceased, most seem to have healed up quite nicely, but I am worried about slugs getting inside my vines at the splits—I have already pulled two small ones out —I don’t have access to “captan paste”. Anybody know what else I can use to cover holes/splits on vines, or where I can get this paste??? I am thinking of putting some of that slug dust around my vines to attract slugs—can I also dust some of the leaves with this stuff?? The two females are still quite small, one appeared more than a week ago and still seems quite tiny—not sure how long it will take to mature—but I don’t have males yet so no worries. Yesterday I was moving dirt and threw a whole bunch of dirt on the female by accident—you should have seen me trying to fix that!
